Your right arm is shorter than your left.

mine does the same thing... rear alignment is off... you might want to go get that fixed before you eat through your tires.

Sounds like tire pressure if it's only under accel.

If it isn't tire alignment or pressure it could be something more serious in the differential.

to be more specific its gonna be ur rear tire thats low and most likely the rear passenger tire. this same thing can be caused by too much air pressure in your driver rear. (i.e. went to get a tire fixed and they filled the tire to 60 PSI!!!! lets just say it was a crazy ride back to my shop to fix it as I didnt trust the joker to fix it himself!)

you will also notice that it darts to the left on decel too... dont ride on the tire low on pressure like that as it will delaminate the belt from the side wall inside the tire and you will have to get a new one. keep your speeds low and dont heat up the tire too much ;-) just find out if its too high in the driver side or too low on the passenger side.

PSI should be around 34psi

Yup it's gotta be your rear tire pressure. Whichever side it is pulling to it should be that side rear tire. Same thing happened to me. Felt crazy and then checked my tire pressure and it went way down in my rear right tire. Was pulling hard to the right when on the gas.

I'd vote tire pressure also. Check for a nail in your rear tire too. This also happened to me.
